Overview

• Developers confirmed that Bloodlines 2’s Seattle setting will be a compact, detail-rich hub rather than a sprawling open world
• Art director Ben Matthews said the team prioritized “quantity of detail over scope” to enhance immersion in every neighborhood
• Players will encounter a mystical mark on protagonist Elder Phyre’s hand that enforces firm map boundaries
• The game casts players as a pre-written character, Elder Phyre, allowing clan and gender choices instead of full custom creation
• Bloodlines 2 remains on track for an October 2025 launch from The Chinese Room under publisher Paradox Interactive
